Our lil man was all snuggled up in a new wrap and lying on his back. He was peaceful looking. They had needed to go up on his O2 requirement on the ventilator. This morning he got half his blood dose, so they had to put a new IV in and they happened to find a good one in his head. That means I can't wash his hair tonight for his bath. That's one of my favorite parts is to fluff up his hair. Oh well, the blood should help to perk him up. They have been able to wean his oxygen some during today. At rounds this morning they adjusted some of his ventilator settings, but that's about it. They want to wean him off the ventilator and get him extubated before they start bolus feeds. Right now he's getting a continuous dose of my beefed up breast milk. They've added calories and Beneprotein to it. So not much else to report on the RJ front.
It's been snowing all day long the past couple days, but nothing really has been sticking. I had my 6wk post-op OB appt this afternoon and from her standpoint I'm cleared and ready to go full steam ahead, but my bp was slightly elevated in the 140's/80's, so my MD wanted to check w/ Neuro to see if they were ok with that bp and what type of activity restrictions if any they wanted. Unfortunately she wasn't able to get in touch w/ anyone during my appt, so I'm waiting for a call back from the OB clinic. For now I will continue to relax and just walk for exercise.
I hope everyone is able to have a fun relaxing weekend. Robert starts his ER rotation tomorrow, so that will be a new twist to our routine. I pray it doesn't add to much stress to him and that he can still find time to see RJ.
Thanks again for all the love, support, and prayers. We couldn't make it without them.
Happy Sabbath!!!
